Comments on Grace Natalie Assignment 10: IVA: ATP Binding site: Map the ATP binding site; indicate which residues stabilize ATP binding; indicate which residues are important for activity and how they contribute to catalysis.

Pretty good start. You have pretty much completed the assignment. I do have several suggestions. 1.	Coordinate your text with more than one WIKI applet showing the important residues involved in stabilizing binding and catalysis. 2.	The reference format needs to be changed—please use the type I use. 3.	The applet could be positioned better in the document. 4.	Use subscripts and superscripts and other symbols when appropriate. 5.	Remove Goals in final submission. 6.	The title is too broad and does not provide an expectation to the content of the WIKI. 7.    Please use the prokaryote version--PDB codes are in my introduction. 8.   Need better annotation of the active site--start out broadly showing site and then focus on specific groups. 9.   Put WIKIs in the table to show where the residues are inside the protein. 10. Make sure that all abbreviations are defined. Grade 8.5 out of 9. Dr. Gluick

Hi

There are problems with the site that have marred your performance. The applet is too small and one has to scroll back and forth to view the links contents in the applets making it difficult for the reader to coordinate text with figures. Also, the applet size is not optimal for viewing the images. You use a figure from Eisenberg ( you misspell his name) and there is no record of the license or permission to use the figure online. This might violate Proteopedia policy. You would have been much more effective to illustrate your points if you used both wireframe depiction of amino acid residues with a single label. Your depiction of the active site is not clear in the applet. You did not mention which residues are involved in catalysis. The layout is nice. Grade: 7.5/10

PS adjusted grade by one point.
